Hello, all!
This week, Lisa and I concentrated on getting organized in preparation for really getting into the processing of the McCurdy collection. Using the processing plan template we found on the LOC website, I have been attempting to fill in as much as possible from our available documentation: the name of the collection, basic scope and content/research value notes, and preliminary steps in getting a handle on this disorder of a collection. Lisa and Martha finally found some acquisition documentation complete with a bill of lading. This includes a numbered box list, and Lisa is cross-checking both of our pieces of documentation to make sure we have it all and to resolve discrepancies. The next step is to capture the information from the print-outs taped to each box -- probably by photographing them. We will then need to make sure everything is accounted for, and also find a way to share the data between the two of us.
We are excited to discuss everything in class today and to hear about everyone's projects!
- Caitlin & Lisa
